... Hello. We've recently installed two Personal DECstation 25s on our network. Our biggest problem was that doconfig didn't work, and they didn't give us enough information to gen a kernel that recognized the keyboard or mouse (I guess DEC considers these memory wasting features). Anyway, the systems are up, but nothing wants to recognize the floppy drive. The devs are gens, but my guess is the kernel doesn't have the support features in it. Does anyone know what I need to put in there? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David C.

This is interesting, because I have recently (Nov 92) re-installed about 5 personal DECstations (mixture of /25s and /33s) under ULTRIX 4.3, and they all worked and MTools worked without any problems. You have to use /dev/rfd0c on the personal DECstations, but I set MTools up to use /dev/floppy and then link /dev/floppy to the appropriate thing on each WS, as I like to place MTools binaries in /usr/local/bin and then NFS mount it on lots of clients.
